org.springframework.boot.web.support does not exist

Question

I\'m changing build systems from maven to gradle for a spring boot project. I get this stacktrace

19:03:08: Executing external task \'bootRun\'...
/home/dac/proj         


        

Answer 1

You should use the same spring boot version 1.4.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT as in maven. org.springframework.boot.web.support.SpringBootServletInitializer was introduced since 1.4.0 that's why gradle cannot find it.
